Some of the many finishes and options available for custom wood blinds

Wood Blinds

These beautifully finished blinds are available in 1”, 2” and 2 ½” slat sizes. All are topped with elegant valances which are precisely fit onsite to complete a truly custom look. Valances can also be custom fit to and around existing moldings and can be custom mitered to fit inside corners or run continuously around bay windows. Great care is also taken to maintain consistent slat alignment in all instances where blinds are side by side. There are a wide array of paint and stain finishes to select from as well as available custom color matching. There are also cordless and remote tilt options. These are but a few of the details and features, but in all cases, the result is a classic and custom look that affords privacy and a great deal of flexibility to manage glare without sacrificing light and view.

Faux Wood Blinds

There is nothing “faux” about the look of the particular faux blinds that I carry. Aside from the faux slats being slightly thicker than those in wood, it can be difficult to distinguish between them. Though it has a lower price point, this faux blind is still very much a durable and quality product. In fact, it can be an especially good alternative in harsher environments such as garages or near showers in bathrooms. Like their wood counterparts, these blinds are topped with an attractive valance which I still fit onsite with the every bit the same care and precision.

Aluminum Mini-Blinds

I also offer quality aluminum blinds in ½”, 1” and 2” slat sizes. They feature streamlined headrails with completely concealed brackets.

Vertical Blinds

The one (and only) vertical blind that I can recommend is made by a different manufacturer than any of the other products that I regularly carry and I only use one of the several headrails that they make. The workings inside a vertical headrail are complicated and in some cases, fragile. Regardless of how attractive the vanes below it might be, if it is poorly designed the headrail is destined to become a headache. There is still one that I consider to be well-made and durable and it can usually be repaired if it ever does have a problem. There are vane options in fabric as well vinyl and there is also a very handsome, wooden cornice option to conceal that all important headrail.
